Review of J. Edgar

J.Edgar (B+) J. Edgar is a American biographical of FBI' first Director "J.Edgar Hoover. who changed the face of FBI by centralizing fingerprint file and creating forensic laboratories to catch criminals. In his almost 50years tenure as director, he became the most controversial person in FBI. J.Edgar Hoover's story is not only fascinating but troubled too. He has caught some of the notorious criminals in the American history & introduced tons of new innovative methods to do so. Clint Eastwood is a great director & in recent times directed some really good movies like Million Dollar Baby, Invictus & Changeling. Just like his previous movies, J.Edger is a victim of poor lighting ..as always not only his subject matters are dark, he shoots the whole movie in dark too, which makes it sometimes hard to see what's happening on screen. This time another disappointment was bad makeup of Leo, Armie & Naomi in their 60plus age. Terrible make up made it really annoying to watch them in their elderly avatar, it seemed like surgery gone wrong. Leonardo Dicaprio's performance was impressive as always. Armie Hammer is charming & in Hotel burst out sequence his performance was simply incredible. (I love his voice ever since Gossip Girl). Naomi Watts was good but she is not aging beautifully. Overall, J.Edgar is good but poor lighting & makeup makes it annoying sometimes plus their is no shock-value in it though J.Edger's life was nothing but Shocking.
